Netgear RAX120 the trash.

Why are they still selling it? They've released a new firmware for random rebooting and heat issue. But it doesn't fix it at all. Mine is still in the box.
V1: EoL.
V2: Faulty Hardware.

I agree the V2 was a mess but there is a further firmware which sorts out the kernal panics causing it to over heat I believe coming you can ask for the beta. Can you show a link where v1 is EOL. Cheers.

If you look you will see they list those where chipsets/revisions have taken place but as long as security is supported those on version 1 are all good.

at some point it will stop as we move forward.

That's been like that for the last year and only covers America and its not actually a Netgear site its a authorized dealer i thout it was the EOL list as well but its not. Here is the actual Netgear EOL list. https://www.netgear.com/about/eos/
Also since both routers use the same code (I beta tested the RAX120 back in 2018) it will just get security and major bug patches but no new features now. Netgear actually gave some v2 users V1 units as a replacements so v1 should be fine for a while, but its old, a draft 3 router from 2019 out of 8 or 9 drafts for WI-FI 6. Newer units like the RAXE500 and its siblings are better. Also routers like the RAXE500 don't have a old world capacitors on the board on the power supply side now they use smd ceramic capacitors and resistors which are tiny components. Hope you get your router gets sorted soon.

I use North America devices. I have both v1 and v2. I just bought them for testing purpose. They are so unstable. I don't use them.

My V1 was very stable and ran for 4 years with no crashes or at all, great signal. I guess not all were built equal, but the V1 is not EOL in the USA as its not on Netgears own EOL page, I mean the R7800nkeeps gettoing the ocational security patch (Voxels firmware is better) and that came out in 2015. Shame Voxel could not help the RAX120, but with wifi 7 round the corner and 6E out so late its probably not worth it. Sorry to hear you routers are so unstable, I always factory reset my V1 after every update and no issues as I said.
